I learned something about Canadian Tire yesterday. They have a fantastic "price match" deal. Of course Americans can't take advantage of this unless they are visiting Canada, but for our Canadian readers, I hope you can benefit from our experience yesterday.

Where are Kevin and Ruth now? Miramichi, New Brunswick, Canada.
Where are Kevin and Ruth going next? Heading back to Ontario .

RV accidents
I saw somebody's post on the http://www.rv.net/ forum where the person had driven their motorhome somewhere they shouldn't have, and took out their roof air conditioner. We've never had any kind of serious accident with the motorhome, but we've had a few minor ones...

The housing bubble is alive and well here in Canada
We sold our house in September of 2007 for $241,000. At the time, I thought that was ridiculously high. How could a basic end unit townhouse be worth that much money? I figured we were getting out near the top of the market, but almost 3 years later I think it would sell now for close to $275,000.

Re-posting old posts
Kevin has already mentioned in the past that I am slowly (slowly being a key word) reposting our older posts from our previous trip journal site. Well I just finished doing June of 2008. I am working backwards so that means I still have May back to Jan. 2008 and Dec. back to Oct. 2007. It will be nice to have all the travel posts on one blog.

Duck hunting
I'm not a hunter... not even close. I have no ambition to kill anything. Well, except for maybe the guy who was tailgating me all the way back to Kingston today. Anyhow, I saw something today that made me think about hunting. Sort of.

RV cleaning products
At the RV place where I run the parts department, we sell a line of Canadian made RV products. Actually, they're made in Quebec, so they're not really Canadian made. :-) I don't think they sell them in the U.S. yet, which is too bad because they have some fantastic products.

Visiting my sister and a long walk.
On Sunday, I finished up worked at 1pm and went back to Sherman and my Dad to get some lunch and then we were heading off to Dundas which is the other side of Toronto and very close to Hamilton.

Stick-On-States
A lot of people like those stick on maps that you attach to the side of your RV and then put the sticker of every state that you visit onto the map.

Busy 24 hours
Friday night, we were invited over to friends for dinner. It was about a 20 minute drive, and we knew we would have a beverage or two, so we arranged to sleep in their tent trailer for the night, rather than having to drive home.

Solar, batteries, and inverter...works great!
I didn't work at the RV place today because I was asked to do the morning drive for the blood courier as well as the afternoon. I didn't mind...it was a beautiful day for driving. And it meant I had almost two hours for lunch...and because it was a bright sunny day, I decided to test Sherman's new inverter setup.

What an icky day!
The weather today is so totally different from yesterday. Yesterday was beautiful, a little on the breezy side but none the less beautiful. Today on the other hand started out overcast and the rain held off until lunch time then it came down in buckets. So Whiskey and I stayed inside this afternoon and worked on pictures and made enough yummy split pea and ham soup for lunch tomorrow and the next day and probably the next.

Getting things done!
I'm finally starting to make some progress on the job list. I managed to get off work a bit early on both Saturday and Sunday, and today it was a nice day and it's still light out at 8:45PM. So I did some more work on Sherman, and had a late supper.

Ontario Sales Tax
I don't think we have many readers from Ontario, so I thought I'd tell you about what the Ontario government is doing with our retail sales tax.

Inverter installed!
I was lucky to be able to leave work at the RV place at 3:00pm this afternoon, so I came back to the KOA and went right to work on that inverter installation. Figured I had better take advantage of some unexpected free time!

Figuring out the inverter installation
When I got home from work at just before 5pm today, I spent an hour and a half trying to figure out where to install the inverter. I felt like I worked at it for a long time, and didn't get anything accomplished.
